Ancient Chinese Wisdom

"Always carry a litter bag in your rickshaw. It doesn't take up that much room, and if it ever gets full you can just toss it to the side of the road."

There are so many books with "Sun Tzu" in the title, but only one written by the master himself, as you said, "The Art of War". Although it was written many, many years ago, this book is still studied today by military officers around the world! The wisdom contained in this book should be carefully reviewed by US Government leaders, especially in light of their current difficult affairs in both Iraq and Afghanistan. If they do not pay attention to the subtle warnings contained in this brilliant work they may find themselves wondering what happened to their strategy!
Chairman Mao and General Giap both read it and followed it closely, and they both achieved victory. Perhaps that should be a lesson?

Of course, there are many other authors who have taken advantage of Sun Tzu's great name and written their own books, including "The Art of Business", "The Art of Cooking", and even "The Art of Motorcylce Maintentaince". However, none will compare to the original.

Nice blogging with you!
